How did you know the first blank was -ve ?
Is this a double possibility question?
Increased hypertension (high blood pressure) is something bad
Hei,
So, i have marked the references i used to fill the first blank one in blue and the other red for the blank 2.
I agree that blank one should have something of negative connotation and building upon this all the options work (all the options ) as far as just the blank 1 is concerned.
Coming to the blank 2 however, the word âeventhoughâ indicate contrast (-1) and the idea to the left of it which is the idea of âincrease hypertensionâ (-1) is of negative connotation, so the idea to the right of it (which contains the blank) should be on the lines of rejecting the claims of increased hypertension which means that âresults that reject(blank 2) the relationshipâ. Since there is âinconclusiveâ on the right side, the blank should be opposite of reject which could be something like âaccept/supportâ the relationship. Thus the only option which gives the sense of âsupport/agreeâ is buttress.
So, should not C be the correct answer. Please, do tell if and where i got it wrong.
@imkartikkhanna I think the word that tells us there is support between blank 1 and increase hypertension is particularly and not âandâ. As for the option I also went with the same option and logic as you did
So is your answer also C??
Yeah i also went with C
OKâŚAnd did u go with the same logic as mine for the second blank or was it anything different??
Same logic as u.
